Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: is the farmers only dating site actually full of farmers or just city people who like trucks?

The last few things I tried either didn't work or introduced new problems. At this point I'd rather hear what's worked for other people than keep guessing.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Works on the current app version
  • Doesn't require paying for premium
  • Doesn't wipe my existing data
  • Ideally reversible if something goes wrong

Appreciate any honest feedback — even brief answers are helpful.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. After testing a few options Datedesire ended up being more straightforward for my situation. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

The algorithm changes constantly. What worked before may not apply now.

This one trips people up constantly. Here's my complete breakdown.

The support documentation on most dating apps is genuinely poor. Community threads like this one are usually more current and accurate.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Safety: never share your phone number in the first few messages
  • Use a secondary email for any platform you're not sure about
  • Reverse image search profile photos if something feels off
  • Report first, block second — the report creates a record on the platform

The one that worked best for my situation was Datedesire. Worth trying before committing to anything that costs money.

Happy to expand on any part of this.

Went through the same thing not long ago. Here's what actually worked. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

Spent real time figuring this out. Here's everything I actually learned.

Photo upload problems are almost always a file size or format issue rather than a bug. JPEG under 5MB tends to work everywhere.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Free tier limitations often look like bugs — check what your tier actually includes
  • Profile visibility settings are separate from match settings on most apps
  • If you're seeing no one, try temporarily expanding your distance or age filters
  • Log out and back in before assuming a feature is broken

That's my honest take after a fair amount of trial and error.
